Plumbing the Machine

Installation of this equipment must comply with all local, state/provincial
and federal plumbing codes. It is the responsibility of the installer (and not
VKI Technologies) to research and to comply with all of these codes.
NOTE: When installing the machine onto a cabinet or countertop, ensure that
the machine is level.
1. Specifications and Limitations:
The total overall length of installed section of water tubing should never exceed 25 feet (7.6 meters)
per unit. In the event more than 25 feet (7.6 meters) of conduit tubing is required, as measured from
the water supply connection (building plumbing) to the brewing equipment or cooler unit, customer will
be required to sign a waiver document thus releasing the Van Houtte group of companies from any
and all responsibility in the event damage is incurred as a result of a water leak from installed water
tubing and/or fittings and/or equipment.
2. Water Supply & Tubing - Material Requirements (Conforms to NSF-51 & NSF-61):
NOTE: The main water supply pressure must be between a minimum of 20 psi and a maximum of 100
psi.
Water supply connection (building plumbing to water tubing conduit):
► PREFERENCE: 2" copper shunt & compression tee fitting (multi unit location)
► ALTERNATE: Self-piercing valve (single unit locations only)
Water tubing (water supply to water filter – water filter to brewing equipment):
► NSF CERTIFIED: 3/8" I.D. Reinforced PVC Beverage grade hose tubing
NOTE: If as a result of either building or municipal codes or both, that a copper conduit
connection is deemed required, customer is subsequently responsible for providing
required copper tubing length according to the customer site's needs along with a shut-off
valve for each individual unit to be installed at said location.
3. Water Filter - Material Requirements (Conforms to NSF-42 & NSF-53):
Water filter & filter head:
► NSF CERTIFIED: EVERPURE 4H, or 4K-Plus, or 2K-Plus, or OCS
► An Everpure QL3 head with integrated shut-off valve must be installed
NOTE: Accessibility to shut-off valve(s) must be provided and explained to customer in the event
water supply to brewing or cooler equipment must be shut off.
NOTE: For multi-unit locations whereby the main water conduit is supplying water to more than
one unit (including water coolers), a separate in-line shut off valve must be installed onto
each individual equipment unit.
